Governance

access>CINEMA is a not-for-profit cultural cinema resource organisation, which provides services and supports for organisations and groups interested and involved in providing all audiences throughout Ireland with access to the best of Irish, world and independent cinema.

access>CINEMA is a company limited by guarantee and is a Registered Charity with the Revenue Commissioners and the Charity Regulator.

In order to follow best practice in relation to accounting and reporting, access>CINEMA has adopted Charities SORP.

SORP - the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (2005) was developed in accordance with Accounting Standards Board guidelines, by the Charity Commission for England and Wales, and by the Scottish Regulator. Whilst it has no jurisdiction outside the UK, access>CINEMA has adopted this system which is seen as prudent and provides best practice in respect of accounting and reporting.
